It is conceivable that natural disasters and man-made disasters can directly destroy a country, so people's livelihood has always been the top priority of national governance.
In ancient times, if someone appeared who could solve famine, he would be regarded as a saint and a temple would be built for him!
And at this moment, there is no doubt that the seven-year-old Axue is about to become the saint who can save the people of Echigo!
In the family memories of the castle tower, Axue issued a military order in front of all the retainers and Nagao Tamekage to solve the famine, which naturally attracted countless people's ridicule behind his back.
After all, Axue is just a child. Even if he is called the reincarnated incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, no one would believe that he can solve the famine problem that has plagued Echigo Province for hundreds of years!
Xiantaoyuan also had the same suspicion.
After the meeting, the beautiful woman visited Axue at his home and asked him what methods he had to solve the famine.
However, no one expected that the black-robed monk was not staying in the mansion. Instead, he ran to the farmland at the foot of Kasugayama Castle and started chatting with a skinny farmer.
Torachiyo was worried about Axue, so he guarded his younger brother with a knife, always keeping an eye out for any assassins lurking around to kill him.
Xian Taoyuan looked at the muddy and dirty soil under his feet, frowned with some disgust, and the next moment he picked up his noble clothes and walked into the farmland.
"Is it really because of the flood? All the crops around here have been destroyed."
Axue asked the old man, and the old man complained miserably.
"Yes, it's all because of Nagao Tamekage's brutal nature! Last year's typhoon was so severe that this year's land is completely ruined. The autumn harvest is terrible!"
Then the old man held the hoe and said with a dejected look on his face.
"The couple next door cooked their three-year-old child a few days ago. A few days after eating, they went insane. This morning, when I went to check, I found that both of them had hanged themselves."
“——How, how could this happen!?”
Upon hearing this, Xian Taoyuan's face suddenly changed. She began to panic, "Didn't we just open the granary and release grain three days ago? We spent a lot of money to purchase that grain and it was shipped to the dock with great difficulty. How could you still be starving?!"
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head. He took in Xian Taoyuan's gorgeous clothes and sneered, "Young lady from Chunri Mountain City, you're so ignorant of staying up in the attic. How much relief food will we have in such a famine-stricken country?"
The old man pointed his skinny finger into the distance and muttered, "If it's like this at the foot of Kasugayama City, if you dare to go any further, there will be widespread suffering and starvation..."
Xian Taoyuan's face turned extremely pale after hearing these miserable words. She never imagined that the famine in Echigo Province had become so serious. She never imagined that even near Kasugayama Castle, there would be people who dared to withhold disaster relief food!
"I, I will send someone to the government office shortly to get to the bottom of this matter!"
Xian Taoyuan gritted his teeth and swore to the old man.
However, compared to the emotional Xiantaoyuan, Axue seemed extremely calm.
He leaned over and rubbed his fingers, feeling the soil carefully.
After all, in his previous life, he was a White-robed Shura who suppressed bandits. He had seen all kinds of suffering in the world and was so familiar with this kind of cannibalism that he was even numb to it.
“Have you considered building paddy fields?”
Axue asked the old man.
"Paddy field?"
The old man was stunned, then shook his head.
"I tried it a few times, but whenever a typhoon hit in the summer, the river burst its banks and washed away everything. The paddy fields couldn't hold any water, so I gave up."
"So... you're missing a dedicated teacher, right?"
After hearing these words, Axue felt more confident.
Then the black-robed monk waved his hand and shouted to Hu Chiyo, who was not far away, "Brother! How is the situation with the thing I asked you to do a few days ago?"
"...Are you talking about asking me to send ninjas to do it?"
Torachiyo was originally leaning against a tree trunk, admiring the beauty of Axue leaning over the farmland. When he heard this, he wiped his saliva and answered.
"I've already sent someone to do it. Didn't you specifically name a ninja named Kato Danzo to do this? I think we'll have a response soon."
Not long after the two of them started talking, a black shadow suddenly appeared at Torachiyo's feet.
Kato Danzo still looked that familiar, wearing a red scarf and looking extremely indifferent and loyal.
She half-knelt on the ground and muttered, "Lord Torachiyo! Danzo has already completed what you instructed! This is the reply letter!"
"Leave it to Axue."
Torachiyo then added.
"Didn't I tell you that from now on, Axue will be your master. I don't need your protection at all."
"...I'm afraid this doesn't follow Danzo's prescribed procedures."
Despite her weak protest, the female ninja still handed the letter to Axue in the farmland.
Kato Danzo is the first major thing that Axue has prepared after his rebirth.
After all, the fire at Linquan Temple was caused by a ninja, and Kato Danzo was originally a mechanical ninja created by Goshin Koji. Recruiting a combat power like Kato Danzo under his command early on was also for the sake of the future.
of course.
Axue also couldn't bear to part with Kato Danzo, after all, he was one of the few friends she had in her previous life.
Although sometimes, some inexplicable vicious words would burst out.
The task that Axue assigned to Kato Danzo was very simple, which was to immediately rush to Owari Province to inquire about the whereabouts of a new crop.
After all, in my previous life, I was quite surprised as to why Owari could hold a big eater event. After all, even if Owari was a rich place, it couldn't withstand such extravagant and wasteful behavior, right?
And Oda Nobunaga in the team had often boasted to him about the developed agriculture of Owari Province, explaining the reason behind this -
That is the farming technology brought by the southern barbarians!
The southern barbarians not only brought matchlock guns, but also brought all kinds of novel and magical gadgets.
One of the crops was spotted by Oda Nobunaga and was widely cultivated in Owari Province. That is why Owari Province became increasingly prosperous!
That is [sweet potato]!
And this [sweet potato] is the trump card that Axue guarantees can solve the great famine in Echigo Province!
The southern barbarians brought seeds of three crops on their ships, which were very prominent in the words of Oda Nobunaga.
That is potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
Potatoes have a bland taste and contain toxins. In the eyes of the southern barbarians, they are just ornamental crops and naturally are not taken seriously.
The same is true for corn. Not only does it taste bad and have poor grains, it is only grown on a small scale as an emergency food.
Among them, sweet potato is the most outstanding. It is not only highly adaptable, frost-resistant, drought-resistant and alkali-resistant, but also has plump, juicy and large tubers.
As disaster relief food, there is no crop more suitable than sweet potatoes!
Now, in Axue's understanding, in the previous life, only Owari Province, under the promotion of Oda Nobunaga, took the lead in planting sweet potatoes and achieved bumper harvests year after year in recent years, which initially and completely solved the food problem in the chaotic Warring States period.
If Echigo Province can also vigorously develop sweet potato planting now, then by the time of next year's harvest, the entire Echigo Province will be able to achieve self-sufficiency!
And if we can transform these flood-damaged lands into paddy fields for growing crops...
Then Echigo Province will not only be able to solve the problem of the great famine, but will also be able to become completely rich and strong within three years, and have the power to completely unify the chaotic Warring States period!
At this moment, Axue was listening to Kato Danzo reading the letter, and her heart was full of confidence.
Because this letter is an invitation.
It is an open conspiracy.
It was a fishing letter specifically sent to Oda Nobunaga.
It was clearly written above that the Echigo Kingdom now possessed the most advanced matchlock guns of the Nanman people. If they wanted to exchange with them, they would send people to deliver Nanman crop seeds and farmers who knew how to raise crops!
Axue dares to guarantee that based on Oda Nobunaga's character, he would be unable to walk when he heard about the matchlock gun!
But now the only thing that the black-clad child is worried about is...
I just don't know how old Oda Nobunaga is now.
I can't beat her up again like I did in my last life, right?
Chapter 4200: A Seed Worth Five Hundred Taels of Gold ( words)
"As expected of my smurf, after living a second life, I now have such a broad perspective..."
Lind watched the simulation unfold with great satisfaction.
I didn't expect that in her previous life, Axue, who was a white-robed Shura who traveled the world with a sword, had such subtle observations on the road of helping the weak and punishing the strong.
Perhaps it was because when he was a child, he was shocked by the miserable scene of famine when he went down the mountain to beg for alms, so when he participated in the eating contest in Owari Province, he privately studied the fertile land there.
Sweet potatoes were indeed a savior during famines in ancient times. They originated in Latin America and were not an Asian crop. It was Magellan who brought the seeds of this crop to East Asia during his first circumnavigation of the world.
You know there is a saying that goes well.
That is, potatoes saved Europe, and sweet potatoes saved Asia.
It was this small sweet potato that completely changed China, the neighboring island country, and created the prosperous Qing Dynasty in the future.
The yield of wheat and rice per mu is only more than 100 kilograms, while the yield of spring potatoes can reach 2,000 kilograms per mu, and the yield of summer potatoes is more than 1,000 kilograms per mu!
You should know that the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell was due to the peasant uprising caused by the great famine in the late Ming Dynasty. If the Central Plains region could promote sweet potato planting on a large scale, I am afraid that the dynasty would not have ended.
A small sweet potato can directly influence the entire course of history!
As an island, Japan had closer contact with the southern barbarians than the Ming Dynasty. As the number one fan of the southern barbarians, Oda Nobunaga had stockpiled matchlock guns and promoted crops such as sweet potatoes early on, laying a solid foundation for his future military expansion into Luoyang!
If the impoverished Echigo Province could also plant sweet potatoes vigorously, then it would only need to keep a low profile for a few years and would surely have the strength to completely unify the Japanese Warring States period!
"Unfortunately, even Oda Nobunaga didn't pay much attention to potatoes and corn, so naturally, Axue wouldn't pay much attention to them either..."
Linde couldn't help but sigh.
After all, if Axue could discover the huge value of potatoes and corn, then the economic strength of the entire Echigo Province would really be like a soaring dragon, completely invincible in the chaotic Warring States period.
This is just like playing farming. Only when the grain production at home increases can you have the strength to send troops to fight.
Linde was watching anxiously from outside, but the next moment he had an idea and came up with an excellent solution.
That is to use his own plug-in!
【Soul Unity】!!!
Soul unification requires that Linde and Axue's state of mind must be extremely consistent, and in the last simulation it was only triggered twice at most.
But after all, it was only when facing a major plot that Linde personally intervened to help Axue overcome the difficulties.
Just like when you are going through the storyline normally, do you also just sit there and do nothing and not press the Skip button?
After all, the Crimson King is the bad nature of human beings. No one can control the impulse of the Crimson King in his genes.
Is there really a game that doesn't allow you to press skip?
So this time Lind decided to find a time when his soul could be unified and personally activate the omniscient and omnipotent plug-in for his own account.
According to common sense, the system should actually unlock a dream system for itself at this time, which is the simplest function.
After all, your own alt-account is fast asleep, you can’t possibly prevent your soul from being unified, right?
So Linde chose the moment when Axue fell asleep, and used soul unification to jump out of the bed again.
"He's already so old, and this senior brother still wants to sleep with me..."
Linde first pushed away Torachiyo's arm speechlessly, then walked to the desk and picked up a pen.
This kind of soul unity will not last long. After all, it will end as soon as the simulated self wakes up.
He must try his best to leave some useful information for Axue.
Linde quickly filled in the information he thought was most useful at the moment.
"Axue, it's so late, why are you awake?"
Unexpectedly, Torachiyo behind him had such sharp senses that it only took her a moment to realize that her brother who shared a bed with her was gone. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up with disheveled hair.
"Are you going to the bathroom? Brother will go with you."
Lind realized that his simulated self was about to wake up, so he quickly took advantage of the last bit of time to write down the information.
The next moment, Axue woke up from his sleep. He found himself writing something at the table and was immediately shocked.
